John 16:21
A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

וְֽנִבְהָלוּ׀ צִירִים וַֽחֲבָלִים יֹֽאחֵזוּן כַּיּוֹלֵדָה יְחִילוּן אִישׁ אֶל-רֵעֵהוּ יִתְמָהוּ פְּנֵי לְהָבִים פְּנֵיהֶֽם׃
And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.
מֽוֹשִׁיבִי׀ עֲקֶרֶת הַבַּיִת אֵֽם-הַבָּנִים שְׂמֵחָה הַֽלְלוּ-יָֽהּ׃
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
ὅταν γὰρ λέγωσιν Εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται ὄλεθρος ὥσπερ ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
שַׁאֲלוּ-נָא וּרְאוּ אִם-יֹלֵד זָכָר מַדּוּעַ רָאִיתִי כָל-גֶּבֶר יָדָיו עַל-חֲלָצָיו כַּיּוֹלֵדָה וְנֶהֶפְכוּ כָל-פָּנִים לְיֵרָקֽוֹן׃
Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness?
חֶבְלֵי יֽוֹלֵדָה יָבֹאוּ לוֹ הוּא-בֵן לֹא חָכָם כִּֽי-עֵת לֹֽא-יַעֲמֹד בְּמִשְׁבַּר בָּנִֽים׃
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
יְהוָה בַּצַּר פְּקָדוּךָ צָקוּן לַחַשׁ מוּסָרְךָ לָֽמוֹ׃
LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
חוּלִי וָגֹחִי בַּת-צִיּוֹן כַּיּֽוֹלֵדָה כִּֽי-עַתָּה תֵצְאִי מִקִּרְיָה וְשָׁכַנְתְּ בַּשָּׂדֶה וּבָאת עַד-בָּבֶל שָׁם תִּנָּצֵלִי שָׁם יִגְאָלֵךְ יְהוָה מִכַּף אֹיְבָֽיִךְ׃
Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go even to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; there the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies.
καὶ ἐν γαστρὶ ἔχουσα κράζει ὠδίνουσα καὶ βασανιζομένη τεκεῖν
And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
וַתֹּאמֶר שָׂרָה צְחֹק עָשָׂה לִי אֱלֹהִים כָּל-הַשֹּׁמֵעַ יִֽצְחַק-לִֽי׃
And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.
Τῇ δὲ Ἐλισάβετ ἐπλήσθη ὁ χρόνος τοῦ τεκεῖν αὐτήν καὶ ἐγέννησεν υἱόν
Now Elisabeth's full came time that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
γέγραπται γάρ Εὐφράνθητι στεῖρα ἡ οὐ τίκτουσα ῥῆξον καὶ βόησον ἡ οὐκ ὠδίνουσα· ὅτι πολλὰ τὰ τέκνα τῆς ἐρήμου μᾶλλον ἢ τῆς ἐχούσης τὸν ἄνδρα
For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
וַתַּהַר וַתֵּלֶד בֵּן וַתֹּאמֶר אָסַף אֱלֹהִים אֶת-חֶרְפָּתִֽי׃
And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
וַתֹּאמֶר בִּי אֲדֹנִי חֵי נַפְשְׁךָ אֲדֹנִי אֲנִי הָֽאִשָּׁה הַנִּצֶּבֶת עִמְּכָה בָּזֶה לְהִתְפַּלֵּל אֶל-יְהוָֽה׃
And she said, Oh my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord, I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto the LORD.
אֶֽל-הָאִשָּׁה אָמַר הַרְבָּה אַרְבֶּה עִצְּבוֹנֵךְ וְהֵֽרֹנֵךְ בְּעֶצֶב תֵּֽלְדִי בָנִים וְאֶל-אִישֵׁךְ תְּשׁוּקָתֵךְ וְהוּא יִמְשָׁל-בָּֽךְ׃
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
